Beyond Kathleen Kennedy - Why is Star Wars So Mortally Wounded? Star Wars tries to survive on a fanbase that was divided, now may just be cut in half. Over the last few weeks I've been doing a lot of thinking about the divide in the Star Wars fanbase. Endless amounts...
We've been waiting a very long time for high quality Star Wars content out of Lucasfilm. The audience may be diminished and the material niche, but this is it. Last week we were introduced to an Imperial Prison/Factory Labor Camp that I believed was ingenius in...
The latest animated Star Wars entry is so close to being brilliant. But like a loveable character losing their head in battle, so too does Star Wars when it retcons unnecessarily. Note: Tales of the Jedi is an anthology show following two narrative arcs, mostly...
The Empire is finally being portrayed in a gritty, realistic manner in the script of Andor. Though many Star Wars fans have already exited, Andor is worth a return. Note: As with previous episodes, this one can't be effectively discussed without spoilers....
Andor is likely the best Star Wars series on Disney+. But is it too late for fans who have already turned away from the beleaguered franchise? Note: To the nature of this episode, it is impossible to discuss without going into spoilers. If you haven't watched...
It took a long time to get where we were going, but we finally got there. This episode finally gave me what I wanted out of the series. It was 52 minutes long (a bit shorter sans credits), and from the jump our rebel cell is putting their plan into motion. The tension...
Andor needed to make some moves in its narrative for its fifth episode. Did it go for it or are we still stuck in the mud of "adult" Star Wars pacing? Writing about Andor has so far been a fascinating, frustrating experience. Each week I'm frustrated by...
Things to like, things to not like. Andor is a mixed bag that deserves a chance, but the show needs to move the story forward and quickly. I felt a little guilty after my review for the first three episodes of Andor went up last week. In some ways, I felt I had...
Return to Monkey Island: First Impressions -- Fears that once were are no more. It's like settling back into a very warm memory. Disclaimer: I haven't completed the game yet, but I'm into the middle of Part 2. I will write a follow-up article upon game completion. I...
The latest entry into Disney+ and their attempts at Star Wars is unlike anything I've ever seen from Lucasfilm. But does it work as a Star Wars product? NOTE: Normally when I review a series, I try to watch each episode twice - once to feel everything cold, and...
It's been one week since Disney's big fan conference to sit and chew on what Lucasfilm showed us. So what exactly did we get to keep enthusiasm high? I was supposed to cover the Lucasfilm news coming out of D23 last weekend, but had to change plans to attend a...
The late nineties was a very exciting time for Star Wars fans. But did one of the most anticipated video games of that era live up to the hype? The year was 1999, and it was one banner year for Star Wars... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzITuwr3q6s ...
